SHADOWS ON HIS SOUL is the first book in The Shadows We Survived series. We begin with Eli joining a support group after being stalked and attacked by his ex, Brad. Skip forward nine months, and he meets Luke in a cafe. Luke overhears Eli saying he wants s3x and offers his services. One thing leads to another, and then pesky emotions get in the way.

Things move at breakneck speed between the two of them, but Eli isn't forthcoming about his past. When Luke wants more from him, Eli reacts badly and tries to distance himself. And this is where you need to suspend belief. I won't say anything else, but it had me constantly shaking my head.

I presume this series will be about the members of the support group, but I'm not 100% sure. I am also presuming that the prologue and epilogue will become clearer as the series progresses.

I enjoyed this book, but there were moments when I wondered what I was reading. On the whole, it was a good read that I can recommend.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book; the comments here are my honest opinion. *

Very funny for all ages (1 more)
The level of details put in
Brilliant animation
A greatly detailed animation film that is full of fun. You can tell when an animation film has had a lot of time, care and thought put into it. The quality of the lighting, shadows, reflections and even fur are up there with the best animations. It's bright and colourful as well to appeal to the kids. I didn't notice the strong voice cast until the credits came up including Jackie Chan, to have all of them in one film is impressive, in an animated film even more so. This is a funny film all ages should enjoy.
